PAGE 18 • PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1974 Offer Training Course For Area Candy Stripers High school students who are interested in becoming Candy Stripers at McHenry hospital may apply for training during the next two weeks, it has been announced by Mrs. Helen Spencer, director of volunteers, auxiliary to McHenry hospital. "We will hold our training sessions for Candy Stripers on Saturday, Nov. 2, and Satur­ day, Nov. 9, from 9 a.m. until noon," Mrs. Spencer an­ nounced. "Interested girls and boys 15 years old or older may obtain applications from their guidance counselors at school or from the information desk at the hospital." Candy Stripers are the junior auxiliary members whose service to hospital patients includes letter-writing and posting, floral deliveries and plant care, errands within the hospital, and so forth. "This is a good opportunity for teen-agers interested in the health care field to get ex­ perience in serving the patients," Mrs. Spencer said. "Anyone in good standing at his or his high school is welcome to apply, with the approval of her- his counselor."

It will be presented Nov. 15, 16 and 17. The play concerns two elderly ladies (who serve elderberry wine with arsenic to their guests) and their nephews, Teddy, who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt; Jonathan, who left Brooklyn at an early age because "he was the sort of boy who liked to cut worms in two-with his teeth", and Mortimer, the only sane one in the bunch. The cast is as follows: Abby Brewster, Sandy Clark; Dr. Harper, Mark Afeld; Teddy Brewster, Dave Sweeney; OfficerBrophy, Lauri Swanson; Officer Klein, Denise Higgins; Elaine Harper, Marebeth Karas; Mortimer Brewster, Craig Smith; Mr. Gibbs, Dave Dulberg; Jonathan Brewster, Raul Viteri; Dr. Einstein, Mike Bonner; Officer O'Hara, Rick Bender; Lieutenant Rooney, Masatoshi Wada and Mr. Witherspoon, Scott Chesler. The set is being#designed and built by the stagecraft classes as an educational experience. This is the first year that such a class has been offered at MCHS. * * * * Work may be a great bless­ ing to man, but there are times when we have doubts. Marijuana Eradication Program Ends Sheriff Arthur T. Tyrrell has announced that for the third consecutive year, the Drug Enforcement unit of the McHenry County Sheriff's department has successfully completed a Cannabis (Marijuana) eradication program throughout the county. In the last three years, over fifty locations have been ANNUAL TURKEY SHOOT Sponsored By American Legion Firing Squad reported to the Sheriff's department. Of these, ap­ proximately twenty have had marijuana growing on them. With the cooperation of the McHenry County Health department, the first organized program for the eradication of marijuana was organized. Owners of property where marijuana was found growing were notified in early spring during the last two years. Under Illinois law, the property owner is responsible for the destruction of noxious weeds growing on his property. When property owners neglected to destroy the marijuana, it was destroyed by county officers and the property owners were billed for the work. On Friday Oct. 4, 1974, several thousand plants ranging in size from 2 feet to 5 feet tall, were burned in the incinerator of the McHenry County courthouse. Areas where the plants were too numerous to be hand picked were sprayed or burned. The majority of the plants were found growing in the McHenry, Richmond, Hebron and Harvard areas.

There was one thing more about that restaurant in Mountain Home, Idaho, where the baking was going on behind glass walls in the dining room. You remember the lady who was doing the baking had her lunch rolls rising before your eyes while you ate her break­ fast rolls. This place had the biggest melons for breakfast I ever saw. We were each given a half cantelope, six good inches across. Elegant food, crowded, busy, local color, hometown people sort of a place. I hope my steps lead me there again. It was not far from this town to Boise. It is one of the finest cities I know. The capital sits in the center of town. The last time we were there we did the capital and went to communion in our cathedral just across the street where we found the dean celebrating the sacred mysteries at the high altar about 10 a.m. This year we took an hour out to see the parks. We had some stale rolls from our beside - the - road lunches so Rose fed the ducks and I took pictures of the Anatldael (that's the scientific name for ducks) armadas converging on scattered chunks of bread. They came in groups and in lines of battle (so to speak). They made time too - leaving broad wakes behind them. The drakes marshalled the lady ducks into place and chased away any interlopers from across the tracks. One penitent sort of looking rooster appeared but he was bought off with a side toss of some of the dry morsels. Can you imagine two grown people taking time to feed ducks in a park while on an Illinois - Oregon trek? After the ducks, we visited the city rose gardens and strolled beside the Boise river to the local art galleries, not great but creditable. Down town we walked the clean streets, found a pair of fine bookshops where we got good service and attention. Everyone was having stitches trying to get out on the street in time to see a Hollywood movie delegation shooting a few scenes in and about a local barbershop. As we were leaving town I saw a sign on a business house, "Rain For Rent". That's Idaho. It was an ad for an irrigation firm. I suppose those good melons were irrigated. One time three years ago we drove through Twin Falls, Idaho, and were disappointed in the size of the falls. A local brother summed it up this way: "We use the water for irrigations and not scenery. You eat better that way!" Not so pretty but more appetizing. One more thought about Idaho. On the way home, about 60 miles east of Spokane, Wash., where the northern spindle of Idaho was crossed, we went through Kellog. It was a sad, sorry, dingy town, given to lead mining. We dropped off the road to get a cup of coffee. We drove about looking for a likely place and settled for an unlikely one. The little cafe seated six at a counter and two at a table. The counter was full so we took the table. The people all greeted us. They were of the community -- hard workers. "Did you see our new high school? It's won every game this fall. (The season starts in August that far north in the mountains). That school is brand new we're very proud of it." "I see you're driving a .", said the next man. I'm the local sales manager. We are opening a new salesroom. Come over and have a glass of champagne with us. I'll give you a good trade-in." After a bit the place emptied and the owner said, "Fine people, we've just moved out from Connecticut. We like the folks." His wife and daughter nodded assent. That night on the news broadcast a nationally known news commentator told abou Kellog. We were in our motel in Butte, Montana. "Kellog is doomed," said he, its livelihood comes from lead mining. The town is poisoning itself. Forty horses have died within the past few weeks from lead poisoning. Children, particularly, suffer from it and the younger ones the worst. The only cure is to void the lead through the urine and it is very painful. You can cure medically through great pain. We were sobered I can tell you. A town whose only in­ dustry poisons the community. How do you solve all the problems of today? But I like Idaho. It is a beautiful state. It is interesting and it is not over run with people -- not yet!
